Abstract

A method of making a pressurised gas cylinder comprises providing an ingot of composition (in wt. %): Zn 5.0 - 7.0; Mg 1.5 -3.0; Cu 1.0 - 2.7; recrystallisation inhibitor 0.05 - 0.40; Fe up to 0.30; Si up to 0.15; other impurities up to 0.05 each and 0.15 in total, balance Al of at least commercial purity, if necessary homogenising the ingot at a temperature of at least 470 °C and for a time sufficient to reduce die volume fraction of S phase to a value below 1.0%, extruding the ingot preferably by cold backward extrusion, and forming and over-ageing the resulting pressurised gas cylinder.
